Sidney Ponson Update
After 3 outings, Sidney Ponson is 2-0 with a 3.31 ERA.
I haven't found a site that lists the major league average ERA, but I'm guessing it's around 4.35. So, Jeff, an empanada on over/under 4.35 ERA at the end of the season? If anyone can find the league average ERA for 2005, I'm willing to use that instead of 4.35.

Justin, perhaps we should use the statistic of ERA+, which calculates how a pitcher does against the league average and removes park & league effects, etc. Basically, an ERA+ of 100 is average, over 100 is better than average, under 100 is worse than average. I'll bet you an empanada that Ponson's season-ending ERA+ is under 100. As you can see here it's currently at 140:

Sounds good, lets use ERA+
